Henry Ford on a "Vagabonds" Camping Trip, 1919
Add to SetSummary
Calling themselves the Vagabonds, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone, and John Burroughs made yearly camping trips between 1916 and 1924. This photograph of Henry Ford is from their 1919 excursion, when the friends visited New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. The next year, their wives would join, rendering the trips decidedly more formal and less adventurous.
